What does it really mean to follow Jesus when it costs you something? In this episode of Sunday Ripple, Rob unpacks why obedience to Christ is rarely convenient, and why choosing faith over comfort is the only way to grow.

Drawing from Scripture and personal stories—including his family’s move to Alaska in response to God’s call—Rob explores what it looks like to deny yourself, take up your cross, and trust God even when the path is unclear. You’ll hear how comfort can lull us into spiritual apathy, why faith often requires risk, and how God always rewards obedience with His presence and provision.

Whether you’re wrestling with a difficult decision, feeling stuck in comfort, or wondering if saying “yes” to Jesus is worth the cost, this episode will encourage and challenge you to take the next step of faith.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why Jesus never promised us a life of ease (Luke 9:23)
• How comfort can hold back spiritual growth
• What it means to obey without clarity (Hebrews 11:8)
• Real-life examples of God’s provision when obedience feels risky
• Why obedience brings peace, purpose, and joy—even when it costs

Following Jesus isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it. Discover how small steps of obedience can create ripples of transformation in your life and in the lives around you.
